Class Descriptions

Gentle Hatha Yoga - These classes include gentle stretches to increase flexibility and strength, breath work for relaxation and rejuvenation as well as meditation techniques to calm the mind.

Vinyasa Flow Yoga- For students looking for a more vigorous class, Vinyasa Flow explores postures from the Asthanga yoga series, bringing in wisdom and insight from other traditions (Scaravelli, Viniyoga). This includes forward bends, twists, side bends, balance poses, moderate backbends, inversions and sun salutations. All poses are linked with the breath as you learn to move gracefully from posture to posture. View registration information or go back to class schedule

Ashtanga Yoga- Ashtanga yoga is a vigorous series of postures linked together with the breath and movement. The first series (of six) aims to align the body, correcting postural mis-alignments and teaching the practitioner focus through breath, bandhas (muscular locks) and gaze. In the level 1 class we will explore the postures of the primary series, with variations offered for differing abilities and experience. View registration information or go back to class schedule

In the Level 2 class, we'll take a deeper look at the primary series postures and begin to explore poses from the second series. We will look at the two sun salutations, standing postures, seated postures, backbends, forward bends, hand balances and inversions. This class will deepen your experience of the breath, bandhas and dristi (gaze) as well as the asanas (postures) and is suitable for students with prior yoga experience.

Intermediate Hatha Yoga - Explore body, mind and breath in a more challenging class where we hold postures longer and discover the sublte changes that occur as a result.

Group discussions and yoga philosophy will also make up a part of this class. View registration information or go back to class schedule

Yoga Essentials - Yoga is an ancient system of postures, breathing, meditation and philosophy, although most modern practitioners focus only on the postures of yoga. In this class, you will learn yoga postures and breathing, how to do them properly and what they are useful for. Postures will be examined in detail, with a focus on safety and proper alignment. Options will be given for all levels of student. We will also touch on yoga philosophy and look at practical ways to apply it to modern living. Simple meditative techniques will also be explored.
